The point P has coordinates (3, 4) The point Q has coordinates (a, b) A line perpendicular to PQ is given by the equation 3x + 2y = 7 Find an expression for b in terms of a

y = -3/2x + 7/2gradient = -3/2 gradient of perpendicular = 2/3 y = 2/3x + c sub in given values of x and y to find c y = 2/3x + 2 sub in a and b, so: b = 2/3a + 2

Simplify and then solve by factorisation 3x(x+2)-7=2, to find x.

3x(x+2)-7=2 3x 2 +6x-7=2 3x 2 +6x-9=0 3(x 2 +2x-3)=0 [Divide by 3] (x 2 +2x-3)=0 (x+3)(x-1)=0 x= -3 x=1
